Sowwy! So last time I promised to show something from the new stuff I got from Kiko´s in Paris. Here´s my latest nails where I used color nr 373 from Kiko over the entire nail and just added a lil spark on the outer/upper corner. Such a easy way to add a little zazz on an ordinary polish! Hope you´ll enjoy! And that you missed me! ;P

https://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/this-weeks-nails-rock-n-roll-fire/#respondWed, 06 Nov 2013 19:42:00 +0000http://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/?p=3111So today I finally painted my nails again. They got a lil crazier than I normally go…. maybe my migrain yesterday gave me extra psychidelic inspiration! LOL I must admit that I really made a mess painting thees ones. Well well they nay not stand for a close up inspection but on a little distance they do look rather cool! They make me think of a painted motorcycle. Yet a rather girly one.

I started of by painting the entire nail in a hot pink. Twice. Then I made flamelike lines from the cuticle and up on the nail by using sewing pins (i really need to buy some brushes for my nails don’t I?!) dipped in nailpolish. I used a black and two different shades of blue. Then I used the black polish to “tie” the lines together closest to the cuticle. The last step made me mess things up a bit but I didn’t like the hot pink coming through the lines down there. I finnished if with a high gloss top coat. Voilá!

https://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/2013/11/06/look-of-the-day-black-n-white-n-a-pop-of-color/#respondWed, 06 Nov 2013 15:41:36 +0000http://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/?p=3108Today I work at the Makeupstudio Education. I have black pants (that you cant see on this picture…) together with our tshirt and a black n white blazer. I love the black and white look. Especially together with a pop of color on the lips! Hot pink lipstick is a favourite of mine when I dress in black and white. I matched it with a low sleek ponytail. I rarely have my hair parted in the middle, like I do today, cuz I think it looks a bit harsh… Do you agree? Will I scare my students today you think?

Hope you all will have a fabulous evening! I know I will!!!

https://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/2013/11/05/hot-or-notbuy-or-not/#respondTue, 05 Nov 2013 21:03:00 +0000http://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/?p=3088So I have been having my eyes on this fire red coat at the boutique I work. It is a vintage coat from the designer VUOKKO. I just love the intense color and the huge pockets! But sometimes I think it is too much 80’s vibe over it. So what do you say? Hot or not?

For those of you who do not know the LIEBSTER AWARDis given to up and coming bloggers who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is German for sweetest, kindest, nicest, Isn’t that lovely? what an amazing honour. Blogging is about having a voice. Showing the world your loves and thoughts your hopes and dreams (even if those dreams are about lashings of mascara). Blogging is a wonderful creative output and there are plenty of amazing people writing wonderful words for you to read so get clicking!

The instructions of the Liebster Award are:

*Thank your nominator and link their blog

*Write 11 facts about yourself

*Answer 11 questions that your nominator set for you and devise you own set of 11 questions.

*Tag 5 or 11 other blogs for the award, they must have less than 200 followers. Don’t forget to inform them and link back your post so they know the details

Well I think I already did the first instruction but to really make sure I´ve covered it… THANKS AGAIN gorgeous Gilly Vanilly!

Here is 11 facts about me;

1. I always start my days with coffee and a cookie.

2. I talk to myself whenever I need to figure things out.

3. I sing loudly in the shower.

4. I love books! To read, to look at, to decorate with etc etc

5. I suck at being practical….style before comfort anyday!

6. I hate to pack when I travel, always gives me anxiety. May have something to do with fact 5…

9. I am slightly obsessed by handbags and probably have too many if you ask a sane person.

10. I am a good listener.

Miss Vanilly´s questions for me;

1. If you could only pick one product to represent your style what would it be?

Well if we talk about makeup (so I can´t say nailpolish ) it probably is lipstick. If I can´t wear anything else I go for lipstick cuz it´s easy, fast and can add a pop of color to any dull day!

2. what inspires you to blog?

The hope of that I can inspire and/or help someone with their wellbeing.

3. where would you live if you could pick anywhere?

Just one?! Coffee. Cookies. Candy. Oh and playing WOW, but hush…

My finacée without a doubt! There is noone that knows me better, gets me better and knows how to handle me better!

There is really no number that is too many! The one I am wearing today is called Pure red from Lumene Natural Code. These lipsticks are my new favourite. So smooth and moisturising yet pigmented! Hooray! They are great for a every day use since they colorful but sheer. What do you think? Would you wear this?

https://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/2013/11/04/work-2/#respondMon, 04 Nov 2013 11:27:03 +0000http://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/?p=3079Today I am at one of my three regular workplaces ….and then I freelance… Am soooo lucky I love all of my jobs! This one, the boutique, is a quite relaxing place compared to the dance and makeup. Here I get to surround myself with lovely patterns and colours on the clothes. Here I get inspiration for the other jobs. Kinda neat huh?!

Todays look is a dark denim pant combined with one of my favourites from the boutique, the tunic Elleana from Marimekko. I added a pair of soft blue suede pumps and wooden jewelry from Aarikka. I kept the makeup simple and classic with an eyeliner with wing and red lips.

Classic fall look with a twist! Just loves the teal and blue combo!

https://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/2013/10/23/todays-makeup-cool-in-cucumber/#respondWed, 23 Oct 2013 15:10:10 +0000http://erikabarcheus.wordpress.com/?p=3076I actually had some time to play with my own makeup today! Yay! Still fun but oh so much harder than to make others prettier! Now I’m gonna eat something fast and prepare for my students to come!

All eyeshadows are from FÄRG and can be found at http://www.makeupfabriken.com
I used “björk”, “lindblomma”, “kaffe” and “grädde” for this look. “Nougat” and “peppar” on the brows abd the hint of rouge you can see is “aster”. I love that thees shadows are multifunctional!
